The Road to Success is not Paved at ALL!

"The snow is coming down pretty heavy now; we’ve been very lucky up until today. The famed and brutal Afghan winter has held off and it’s been balmy and warm. Winter has decided to arrive full blast blanketing everything. Since I got up this morning at 0600 it’s dropped about three inches.

The blanket of snow covering the Afghan landscape makes everything look smooth and peaceful. A calm pond you decide to dive into head first only to find out there are stumps and rocks waiting just beneath the placid surface. Okra colored terrain replaced by gentle whiteness, but it still out there lurking and waiting for the return of the violence that it holds."
